SLIM PLAYS accordian with the Blubbery Hillbillies, Boot Hill Foot Tappers and more. The best dressed man in Country and Western music says, on his style: "My style is a mixture of Western arid traditional British with a dash of humour. I like Western clothes because they suit my size, but I like to have some traditional British clothes (donkey jackets etc) so that people don't think I'm one of those nutters who dress up like cowboys. Style is really down to the individual and has absolutely nothing to do with what the fashion business dictates."

On prams: "I don't mind pushing prams as long as they're not mine."

On men in dresses: "I once played the wicked queen in Snow White at school and also used to be a choirboy but I haven't worn a dress lately. About the only man in a skirt I like is Barry Humphries. "

On the most important item in his wardrobe: "My braces, otherwise my trousers fall down."

On Leigh Bowery's 'bums out' collection: "I haven't seen this collection but I work near Smithfield Meat Market and if I walked around with my bum hanging out, one of the porters would stick me on one of the hooks."

On male feminism: "I'm not allowed to be anything else in the Boot Hills -- the blokes got severely reprimanded when we were caught watching Benny Hill."
